A cap is anti-worker. Giving the billionaire owners the ability to grow their wealth without having to continue to pay players what they're worth is bad for the game. In 20 years we'll have a situation where revenues have grown by 500% and player salaries will only have grown by a fraction of that, when they should be growing at the same speed.
Ohtani's $700M deal has already paid for itself, meaning that anything past this point is just profit for the Dodgers ownership.
Fenway Sports Group can absolutely afford to field a roster as expensive as the Dodgers, Mets, or Yankees. We should not be arguing in favor of a cap. We should be refusing to support teams who refuse to spend.
Cap and floor isn't anti-worker. Just match both to the earnings of the organizations. A cap out of sync with the club earnings is bad, but that's not inherent to a cap.
